Watertown, March 31 - Theodore Gegoux, for many years a prominent portrait painter and landscape artist of this city, who had a studio in Public Square, has been missing, it is reported, since December 15th. His relatives and friends in this city have had no word from him during that time. Mr. Gegoux went to Cleveland, Ohio last December, it is stated, to paint a portrait of a nephew who had recently died there. Before that he had spent a few weeks in New York City, working at his calling, but returned home before going west.
Since he left this city on December 15th to go to Cleveland no word has been received of him. His family do not believe that he met with foul play, but are at a loss to account for his long absence and silence. He had been working for many months, it is said, on a model of a flying machine, of the helicopter revolving type of aeroplane, before leaving the city. As it is known he desired to attend the aviation meet in Los Angeles, it is thought he might had gone to California from Cleveland. His long absence since the close of the meet, however, cannot be accounted for. |
